mmhmm Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Perhaps it would be better read as "Preorders from MTS" then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short of moving out, how would you suggest combatting this? The guy plays it at night through the night, he plays it in the morning. We've taken to guzzling Nitequil which only worked for a few nights before we started getting immune to it. This morning he woke us up by playing bass tones that made the apartment shake. He's in his mid 30's and is super awkward when he sees us because we call the cops on him nearly every day, call the landlord on him three times a week and I scream at him through the ceiling (I acknowledge that the third thing isn't the most tactful but when you're not awake and all you hear is pounding thumping, tact isn't job number one).

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Bass can not be stopped. He probably isn't even playing it very loud. As for pre-orders. MTS are the worst recent offenders. But most labels seem to have delays on every project, after they have taken your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Will never happen but it would be nice. maybe if people weren't so easily separated from their money. Exactly. If no one threw down money before distros had the records in hand, preorders would cease to exist. We all vote with our cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one threw down money before distros had the records in hand, preorders would cease to exist. We all vote with our cash. Already doing my part. Wish I didn't have to miss out on releases to do so. I hate when a record sells out before it is released. But I hate pre-orders more.

Don't forget Paper + Plastick I had a few problems with Six Feet Under also. And Vinyl Collective/Suburban Home in years past is a good example.

If no one threw down money before distros had the records in hand, preorders would cease to exist. We all vote with our cash. Right, but thats not going to happen is what Im saying. There's a good way to do pre-orders, like having all parts approved and already in production/nearly completed when the pre-order goes up or if you're pre-ordering things months out, at least hit your targeted release date. Then there's a bad way to do pre-orders...see the MTS TOYPAJ thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 2 vinyl pre-orders Ive done were The Devil Wears Prada and the latest Four Year Strong and the labels really wanted to do pre-orders on those so I said ok since HT was getting a complete exclusive/exclusive color. Normally Id rather just wait til records are in stock before selling them. Makes it more simple and causes less problems for the people buying the records as well as the people selling the records.

Already doing my part. Wish I didn't have to miss out on releases to do so. I hate when a record sells out before it is released. But I hate pre-orders more. that'd be the day I miss out on a release I want just because it's a pre-order. I'd rather have $17-18 floating around in Paypal limbo for a month (you have 45 days to file a claim if it's not sent and get your money back) than not get a record I want. Not that strapped for cash, especially if I'm just planning on spending it on the same exact release once the vinyl is actually "in hand." Come on, pre-orders done right are NOT that big of a deal, and help labels get capital up front to actually help produce these releases. (not saying I'm down with MTS pre-orders, because, that shit is seriously out of this world to me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
